'Get Up and Go' - Read and Rise March 2021

We've come to the end of National Nutrition Month and I thought I'd finish it off with a story about moving! Good nutrition is only half of the equation - the other part is moving and exercising your body to keep it strong and healthy!

Featured story: "Get Up and Go" by Nancy Carlson

Activity: This week's activity is simple - get moving! Warmer spring weather is here so get outside to play when you can! Go for a walk or a bike ride, play in the yard, or hit a playground (safely!). If you can't get outside for whatever reason, here are a few great indoor options.

Adventure to Learning - this website does require a subscription, however, you can download apps for Roku TV, Fire Stick, and Apple TV. The apps do not require a login and provide A LOT of the videos for free. Squidgy's favorites are the Adventure to Fitness videos which are created to provide 30 min of exercise in a small area like a classroom.

Cosmic Kids Yoga - we've been using Jaime's yoga videos since Lil C was only a few years old! The videos are great for leading kids through a yoga exercise in a fun and engaging way (especially the ones based on popular kids' shows/games like Frozen, Moana, Trolls, and Minecraft).

Just Dance - Lil C loves dancing along to Just Dance - her favorites are the Disney songs! If you don't have the game, you can find tons of dance along videos on YouTube.
